Hello sunshine!

I’m revisiting this lovely beach in less than 24 hours. I think it’s a good time to enjoy this kind of sunshine now before the real hot summer comes. Aside from beach paraphernalia and food, music is very important (I hope I won’t forget the mini-speakers). That means real beach tunes. I’m currently listening (to test the reasonableness of sequence) to the first mix/playlist which I named Beach Bop, which is good to keep us bubbly for the first 1.6 hours.

*I wanted to put in the four versions because they’re all good, but I opted for UB40’s Big Mountain’s for that sunnier-bubblier feeling (if you’re feeling romantic, you’d probably go for the acoustic one).
**Reminds me of Ang TV days

I’ve prepared other mixes to cover slow beach tunes, playlist named Beach Mush which includes Weekend in New England (Bossa Nova), If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight (James Taylor), Don’t Throw It All Away (Bee Gees), etc. Of course, Eraserheads and Dave Matthews Band mixes are ready and not to miss my Pinoy Lalala mix which includes a few songs from Boyfriends and Hotdogs. I’m looking forward to the listeners reaction when they hear Manila. Each time I hear that song, I’m feeling transported back there. Homesickness is both a happy and sad feeling.

i know some songs on the list. don’t ask me where i’ve been =), but the beach looks really inviting. it’s still chilly to go to the beach here although i have no beach plans this summer. the nearest beach here is about 3 hours. i’ll probably just do those garden weekend trips. sigh, so busy at work these days.

Wow, that’s a nice shot of the beach! I am MISSING summer already. I’m flying back to Manila with numb, cracked lips and terribly dry skin because of the cold weather. I’m beat…. 😦
Great selection of songs btw. Enjoy!

I love Kokomo! It’s actually in my list of beach wedding music, if ever it happens. Most of the songs up there are what I call Sawy Songs, because they make you sway left and right. I love Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 and Kiss The Girl by Sebastian the Crab in The Little Mermaid.
